‘Tis the season for a merry little murder and AE has just the ticket in this witty clash of mystery genres as a hard-boiled detective must solve his most baffling case.

It is opening night of The Mistletoe Murders, an Agatha Christie-esque whodunit. Long before the curtain rises, it’s clear that things are going badly awry for the panicky actors.

When a genuine corpse on stage brings the play to a halt, it’s up to Jake Granite, who happens to be in the audience, to unmask a killer in this interactive, comic delight.
